Have you noticed?

Have you ever noticed that when you call someone, that a little red dot appears on your phone above the front camera and in between the speakers? Does anybody know why it is? If you can't see it, go into a dark room and try it out.

Yes its the proximity sensor

Well isn't the proximity sensor more of an oval shape?
